Codex desktop users report project history disappearing after a setup reset
stellarfirefly · reddit · 2026-07-22
A user says a Codex desktop task returned a generic error, then after restarting the app was forced through setup again and all existing Codex projects showed “No chats.”
The app’s own investigation suggests a local migration or indexing failure: the task metadata still exists, but the transcript files are missing from their recorded paths.
The post asks whether anyone else has seen the same issue and what recovery steps worked.
